ACCOUNTING AND STATISTICAL REPORT AS OF 
SEPTEMBER 30th, 1920. 



Herewith is a report of the Commission for 
Relief in Belgium covering the personnel, accounts and 
statistics of the relief work for the six years of its 
active operations. 

Included in this report is an explanatory fore- 
word on the audited accounts by Herbert Hoover, the 
Chairman. The firm of auditors making this report was 
engaged by the Commission on the day of its organiza- 
tion and has continued to audit the accounts of the 
C. R. B. until the present time. These accounts are 
final and complete with the exception of certain minor 
outstanding items remaining from the liquidation of 
transactions amounting to over $923,000,000. 

This report summarizes and brings to date the 
previous annual reports of the Commission which have 
been distributed to all governments and persons in- 
terested and is presented that there may be available 
a record of the relief work of this American Commission 
in aid of Belgium and France during the world war.

FOREWORD 



HESE statements presented by the auditors represent their summation 
of the financial operations of the Commission during the six years, from 
September, 1914, to September, 1920. The detailed accounting information 
covering over 4,000 branch offices of the relief organization will require several 
volumes for publication and, with the slender resources available, some years 
may be needed for their issuance. ^ 

The great moral responsibility for full accounting was realized by the "^ 
Commission from its first day. Therefore the precaution was taken to engage 
one of the leading international firms to audit every ramification of expenditure 
and receipts, and to make doubly sure they were also engaged to undertake the 
unusual task of themselves actually keeping the books and furnishing their own 
accounting staff at all principal branches. 

The Commission was born as a purely philanthropic enterprise, dependent 
upon the charity of the world for support, conceived as a few months' emer- 
gency service to defend 10,000,000 people from certain starvation. However, it 
became evident that the war was not a struggle of months but of years, and 
that if these 7,500,000 people in Belgium, 2,500,000 in Northern France were 
to survive, it must be accomplished by much broader operation than public v-^^ 
charity. The Commission, therefore, sought and ultimately received financial 
support from the Belgian, French, British, and later the American Governments. 
These official advances were, by consent of the Belgian and French Govern- 
m.ents, debited to them and were finally placed in the Reparations settlement 
for preferred payment under the indemnity. The organization thus rapidly grew 
to a great economic engine with an annual budget of over $400,000,000 in all its y 
different ramifications inside and outside of the invaded regions. Carrying 
on its operations with the moral support of the neutral powers, it came to have 
many attributes of a government in itself, possessing an agreed immunity from 
the restrictions placed by belligerent powers during the war, flying its own 
flag, issuing its own passports, operating a large fleet of ocean vessels, owning 
and operating a great number of canal boats, extending its offices into many 
countries, requisitioning the native food supplies, rationing the entire popula- 
tion, making full provision for the destitute, operating mills, factories and 
transportation, and, in fact, engaged in maintaining the whole economic cycle 
of a nation. 



An understanding of the accounts requires some conception of the method 
of the organization. A primary division in operations was established between 
the provisioning of the population and the care of the destitute. The basic 
theory of administration was to erect a system of food supply with all of its 
train of handling agencies, stretching from the interior of the United States, the 
Argentine, Australia, India, and other great food centers, focusing into Rotter- 
dam with a distribution through chains of primary and secondary warehouses, 
ultimately, through a ration card, reaching to the individual family, which paid 
for the food supplied at fixed prices. Destitution grew rapidly under the occu- 
pation and, of the 10,000,000 people, fully 5,000,000 were wholly or partially 
destitute before the end of the war. A separate branch of administration was 
organized for the care of these destitute giving them assistance to purchase 
ration cards and by charitable public eating and clothing establishments. 
Their needs necessarily extended further afield than the provision of imported 
food and clothing — -because bare living requirements necessitated supplies of 
native foodstuffs, fuel, light, shelter, medical care, as well. The provision- 
ing side was organized in the form of a commercial enterprise, transferring 
its cash receipts to the benevolent side of the adminstration for the use 
of the destitute. This plan of division greatly simplified the accounting 
and gained the administrative values of a separate personnel more adapted 
on one hand to commercial administration and on the other to charitable work. 
It further made possible the exaction of a small profit from the sale of food 
to those who could afford it, and thus swelled the resources of the benevolent 
branch. 

The whole plan of organization was a continuous chain of decentralization. 
Purchasers were decentralized into overseas branches. Shipping control was 
directed from London. Transportation inland to primary warehouses was 
directed from Rotterdam. A committee was erected in each of the ten Belgian 
Provinces and six French Districts, which may be compared to a wholesale 
distribution. These committees in turn supplied 4,500 Communal Committees 
which may be compared to retail distribution, they issuing food under the ration 
cards issued on a family basis and to the public eating places for certain classes 
of destitute. The rations were sold for cash by the Communal Committees, 
who in turn paid cash to the Regional Committees the Regional Committees 
paid cash to the National Committees at Brussels and Lille, and these cash 
receipts were transferred to the benevolent side. 

Three methods were employed in benevolent organization. First, existing 
charitable institutions were supported and, in the case of children, were extended 
to cover the whole child life of the country. Second, certain professions and 
trades were assisted to care for the members of their professions. Third, benevo- 
lent committees were set up in each Commune for the conduct of public eating 
places together with provision of ration cards to the destitute and to supervise

other agencies and for the care of those not otherwise reached. Overlaid upon 
the whole structure were a series of checks and balances to determine the truth 
as to destitution, to maintain the morale and efficiency of the administration and 
honesty in accounting. 

Thus, keeping in mind this organization, it will be found that the C. R. B. 
accounts proper show debits to the National Committees at Brussels and Lille 
for the value of commodities furnished to them and show credits for the amounts 
allotted to them for benevolent purposes. At this point ends the actual balance 
sheet of the C. R. B. The National Committees, under the direction and as the 
agent of the C. R. B., in turn debited commodity values to the Regional and 
Provincial Committees and credited them with benevolent allowances, and at this 
point ends the accounting of the National Committees. Again, the Provincial 
District and Regional Committees set up the same accounting relation with 
the Communes. And over the whole, the C. R. B. maintained an audit, and 
also maintained membership in the whole committee structure of these organi- 
zations which acted as agents of the commission. In later years, the native 
food supply had to be requisitioned and to be impressed into the system of dis- 
tribution. These forced purchases were carried out by the Communal Com- 
mittees for the account of the Provincial and District Committees and where 
a proven surplus in a given commodity existed in the hands of Regional Com- 
mittees, it sold its surplus to neighboring Provinces upon the direction of the 
central organization. Thus, the purchases of native food supplies do not reflect 
into the C. R. B. balance sheet, although they represent an expenditure of 
probably $400,000,000. If time and funds permit, a balance sheet of all branch 
offices will be consolidated and will be of interest from a historical point of 
view showing gross purchase and sale of foods and clothing of upwards of 
$1,300,000,000 during the period of operations. 

In the balance sheets are shown certain residues of funds remaining in the 
hands of the relief organization, accruing as a final balance after provision had 
been made for the care of the destitute. These final residues of funds have 
been applied at the request of the Belgian and French Governments to the 
provision of extended foundations for charitable work, to be maintained as a 
memorial of American help in the time of need offered through the Commission 
for Relief in Belgium. 

The principal officers of the Commission gave their services without salary 
and in many instances paid the whole of their own incidental and traveling 
expenses as well. Shipping firms, accountants, insurance agencies, buying 
agencies, throughout the world gave their services without charge otherwise 
than the mere out-of-pocket incidentals. The distributing committees of over 
55,000 members gave their voluntary services over these many years. 40,000 
Belgian and French women dedicated themselves to the saving of the child life 
of their nations. Never was there greater pressure for economy and efficiency 
upon an organization. At no time were the population fed to more than the 



point of bare subsistence. Every penny saved meant larger food supplies and 
less suffering. At no time were the finances of the Commission certain for more 
than a few months, and at different periods its liabilities were in excess of its 
actual or prospective assets, and the continuous food supply was only maintained 
through the personal guarantees of the directors and their friends. The total 
administrative expenditure was held down to less than one-half of one per cent., 
(exactly 42/100 of 1% ) of the entire operation. The record of economy may 
be extended even further than this, for the changing tides of war often required 
the diversion of cargoes and sales of foodstuff's outside of Belgium to meet 
emergency readjustment of purchases or supplies whose shipment or distribu- 
tion had already been arranged. Upon these and similar transactions entirely 
outside of Belgium and France a balance of profit of over nine and one-half 
million dollars was earned, several times greater than all overhead expenditures. 
From these profits on outside operations the Commission, first, paid its entire 
administration and overhead expenses ; second, paid over to the Benevolent 
Department some $2,600,000 for charitable distribution in Belgium and France ; 
and third, as at 30th September 1920, still held available for Relief work in 
those countries and to meet the expense of Liquidation approximately $3,120,000 
— since that date largely distributed. The economy of operation in the organi- 
zation has, in fact, even a higher standard of test than this, in that the average 
prices maintained for food supplies in this occupied territory during the entire 
period of war will show from 15 to 20 per cent. less than the prices in the Allied 
countries at the same periods. 

No set of accounts or figures can reflect the intense anxiety, the patience 
and skill required of the 55,000 volunteers who toiled in this complex agency, 
defending ten million lives. Inspired with humane sympathy for these people, 
who, having no responsibility for the war, suffered most from its hardships 
and barbarities, they labored that this service might be done efficiently and 
with economy. It is to their unflagging devotion that we are now able to publish 
exact figures of accountability for funds, and to trace each ton of food from 
the place of purchase to the ultimate consumer among the civil population of 
the invaded regions. Surrounded by terror and suffering this multitude had but 
little concern for the bookkeepers in the back rooms of the 4,000 branch offices 
of the relief organization. It was of the utmost concern, however, to those in 
official direction, not only that the work might be effectively performed and pre- 
sented to the world, but that our honor and the honor of our country in this 
trusteeship should never be challenged.
